ADHS Breakfast Program

It’s hard to fill your mind with knowledge if you haven’t first filled your stomach – and that’s why Almonte and District High School (ADHS) has started a breakfast program for all of their students with help from local churches. Volunteers from Hillside Reformed Presbyterian Church, St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Cornerstone Community Church and the Almonte United Church work in rotation throughout the week to prepare ThunderMuffins. ThunderMuffins are a nutritious breakfast, available to all students without charge. The goal is to feed any student who wants to be fed, regardless of need.

Satellite Food Cupboard

In an effort to make food bank services more accessible, St. Paul’s Anglican Church acts as an extension of theLanark County Food Bank, by acting as pick up site for Food Bank clients in Almonte and area. The Grace Brown Fellowship Room, located at 70B Clyde Street, is open Tuesdays from 2:00pm – 3:00pm each week for food order pick-up.

Please note clients must be registered in advance with the Food Bank in Carleton Place. For more information, please contact the Lanark County Food Bank.

Syrian Refugee Sponsorship

St. Paul’s Anglican and Almonte United Churches (SPAUC) are pleased to be partnering with Holy Name of Mary Roman Catholic Church to sponsor a Syrian refugee family linked to the family already here. In addition to meeting and welcoming the family on arrival, we are converting our Parish House into a home for the family as part of our commitment to take care of their financial and social needs for a minimum of 12 months.

This project is in addition to our other on-going community initiatives.
